Verde Valley School will transform you, just as it has transformed the lives of our graduates for
75 years.

VVS began as a love story. Hamilton Warren, fresh out of Harvard on the eve of World War II, joined the military, serving with distinction until the end of the conflict when he and Barbara – daughter of a British coffee plantation owner in Guatemala – married, and set out to transform the world through a unique educational vision. Ham and Babs created an international school in the beauty and safety of the spectacular red rocks of Sedona, providing a refuge where students find acceptance, challenge, support, and world-class education. The Warrens established the guiding principles that anchor the lives of VVS students and faculty. Even now, we live them 24/7/365:

  • Academic Excellence
  • World Citizenship
  • Environmental Stewardship
  • Service to Others
  • The Value of Physical Labor
